Avast! Trailer For The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Here’s the first official trailer for Guy Ritchie’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E. starring Henry Cavill, (Superman), and Armie Hammer, (The Lone Ranger).

The film is a big screen adaptation and reboot of the much-loved 1960s TV series of the same name which originally starred Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. The official plot rattles along like so:

Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.

I really want to see Idris Elba as the next James Bond but bloody hell does Henry Cavill also look like a perfect fit for that role too now. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is slated for release on August 14th.

Avast! First Look At The Lone Ranger.

Here’s a first official look at Gore Verbinski’s much anticipated version of the Lone Ranger which stars Johnny Depp as Tonto, Armie Hammer as John Reid the Lone Ranger , Helena Bonham Carter, Barry Pepper, William Fichtner and Tom Wilkinson.

For anyone doubting Verbinski’s ability to successfully direct a Western I would strongly advise you seek out his animated movie Rango.
